EVST 3090 - Interdisciplinary Field Experience

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course integrates concepts of biology, conservation, sustainability and sociopolitics. Students will work in groups to develop a research project and execute the project at a remote field site. One particular field location serves as a focus, but a comparative strategy is encouraged, where concepts, processes and policies from other locations around the world that face similar challenges are brought to bear on the focal system. During the term, groups present their project ideas at various stages in their development for peer evaluation and feedback. Articles from the primary literature will be read and discussed in class sessions with students as discussion leaders. Travel is optional and arrangements are generally made well before the beginning of the term using a variety of funding mechanisms.
